In an interview with Collider, Bautista revealed how he had been blown away by the script for Dune.
Over time, wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista has proven his dramatic chops by working with several auteur filmmakers, the foremost of them being Denis Villeneuve, with whom Bautista worked on Blade Runner 2049.
In the upcoming Dune, Dave Bautista plays the role of Glossu Rabban, the savage brute of a nephew of the main antagonist of the story, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.
Now, Bautista is collaborating with Villeneuve again on the most ambitious movie of the filmmaker’s career, a film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel, Dune.
